Brief Background: Born and raised in small town Nova Scotia, after graduating high school Steve was left with few options. He tried university, he tried working on a fishing boat and that only ended with entire pay cheques being blown on cocaine. Hungover on a Wednesday, Steven stumbled in to his local Canadian Forces Recruiting Center and found himself in basic training out of St Jean, Quebec. After that, he completed infantry school in Wainwright and was posted to the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. During his first tour in Afghanistan, Private Rafferty proved himself to be an effective member of a recce detachment. Skilled at calling in artillery and identifying high value targets, he was eventually given a sniper course, in which he excelled. His second tour in Afghanistan saw him as a member of the 3rd Battalion's sniper detachment. After performing an op with elements of a joint Canadian-American special operations task force, he was recruited in a marksman role for the Canadian JTF2. On Task Force Zero's latest operation, Stephen has been dropped off three days in advance with only a Barrett M82A1, a Glock 21 and some other necessities.
